*Winner of the Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry 2018*Jay Bernard?s powerful debut is a queer exploration of the black British archive, tracing a line between two significant events in recent British history- the New Cross Massacre of 1981 in which thirteen young black people were killed in a house fire – and the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017. The collection stems from research undertaken about the New Cross Fire during a 2016 residency at the George Padmore Institute.
